The Eve Of Battle.

Augustus Brandegee writes to the
New York Tribune of a talk he once had
with Secretary Stanton. Mr.. Lincoln
had been excessively solicitous about
the result of that battle. 1t was known
that Lee had crossed into Pennsylvania,
threatened Washington, and that battle
had been joined near Gettysburg, upon
which in all probability, the fate Of
Washington and the issue Of the war
depended. The telegraphic wires ran
into the war department, and dispatches
had been received of the result of the
first days fight, which showed how
desperate was the attack, the stubborn
ness of the defense, and that the result
was indecisive. All that day and the
next Mr.. Lincoln was In an agony Of
anxiety, running over, as was his wont,
to the war Office to ascertain for himself
the latest news instead of waiting for
the reports to be sent him by his subor-
dinates. Then came long interval
when nothing was heard from Meade,
and the president was wrought up to
an intense pitch of excitement. Night
came on, and Stanton, seeing the presi-
dent worn out with care and anxiety,
persuaded him to return to the white
house, promising II anything came ov or
the wires during the night to give him
immediate information. At last toward
midnight came the electric flash of that
great victory which saved the union.
Stanton seized the dispatch and ran
rs fast as he could to the executive
mansion, up the stairs, and knocked at
the room where the president was catch
ing ftful slumber. "Who is therep"
he heard on the voice of Mr.. Lincoln.
Stanton" The door was opened, and
Mr.. Lincoln appeared with light in
his hand, peering through the crack Of
the door, sin the shortest night-dress
and longest legs" as Stanton said, he
ever saw on a human being. Before
Stanton, who was out of breath, could
say . word, the president, who had
caught with unerring instinct the ex-
preston of his face, gave shout Of ex-
ultation, grabbed him with both arms
around the waist, and danced him
around the chamber until they were
both exhausted. They then sat down
upon trunk, and the president, who
was still in his nightdress, read over
and over again the telegram, and then
discussed with him the probabilities Of
the future and the results oil the victory
until the day dawned.

Light in the East
BY MRS. N. l. RAYNE.


He had slept quietly all the long, 81
lent night, while the family took turns
in watchin beside him. but as daylight
approached. and the first faint rays of
the coming sunlight dispelled the dim
night shadows, he stirred uneasily.
His atient loving wife sa by the
bed holding in hers one Of the cold.
pale hands that lay nerveless and al
most pulseless beside him. He felt
rather than saw that she was there.
Mother " he asked presently, sis it
light in the east?"
Eyes, David" she answered, with
fearful voice, 1.-The light is breaking. "
''Then it is time to be up" he said,
and so fell asleep.
And soon the red, rosy sun flooded
the whole eastern sky with q rad ance
that reflected itself in the snow, and lit
up that winter scene with an indescrib-
able glory. But the old farm house
looked sad and lonely, The Gate in
the barn waiting to be fed. lowed
mournfully to each other. The old
house dog sat on the stoop and looked
into the distance with pathetic eyes,
and shivered with dumb instinct. And
the early morning train coming around
the curve slackened it's speed as the
men leaned forward to ask in patominc
for their old friend. And they
saw the bit of fluttering black that was
to signal them, and instantly every
head was barred and bowed.
So! he was gone, who for so many
years had waved them CHEEKY "good
morning" that had lasted them all the
day.
Yes, when it was light in the east"
.e was "up" and away. God having
provided some better thing for him in
the Morning Land.

palaces, SO David Arson said. wanted
to marry her, stood before her pleading
with all the passionate love This heart,
and her only idea was whether she
should understand the fashion of living
In grand houses, whether she should
know how to manage his servants, not
whether she should love him or find the
happiness of her life with him.
IL was almost pitiful. He was SO bent
upon winning her that he forgot to be
just as he would have been with any
others; he forgot to warn her that mar
rage without love was like a body
without a soul; he forgot to tell her
that without true and deep love the
the contract OF marriage must be null
and void.
The June sun shone upon beautiful
picture; the sweet face and golden head
Of the girl as she leaned against the
trunk of an old apple-tree, the dying
light falling upon her slender figure
showing the lovely curves Of her white
neck, and the beautiful hands In which,
sixteen years ago. the old nurse had
read so strange fate.
BY her side stood the handsome, stall
wart lover, with his grand air Of dis
tinction, his dark face more handsome
than ever with the light of passionate
love. He wooed her with sweetest
words; he told her Of all the wonderful
things Of the outer world she had never
seen. There was most tempting sound
In it, palace TO live In, carriages,
horses, servants, jewels, and dresses;
to go where she would, to see all the
grand cities Of earth, all the wonders OF
which she had ever read; TO go ia
operas, to concerts TO see and hear all
the greet singers. He noticed that her
face never changed at all until he men,

"If l had plenty OF money" she

swered the question-it was like brib-
ing her.
